Nirmal Purja : Do Great Exploits Lead to Great Accountability ?

The context : Nims incredible feats, press about him, the records

When Nirmal Purja, then an unkown climber to the community, declared his intention to climb all 14 8000ers peaks within a year, initial reactions from public, other climbers and media was rather incredulous. I include myself in the early critics . Then, the former gurkha and SAS soldier, showed to the World his strength, his sharp focus and his incredible leadership. He climbed the 14x8000 in about six month, and the last one was K2, in Winter - the last 8000ers never climbed in the cold Karakorum season.
